Anxiety Treatments Offered in Minot, ND

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a normal human emotion you experience every so often in response to stress. For some people, it becomes a daily challenge in the form of an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders involve persistent worries or fears that may be overwhelming, even if those feelings seem to appear without a rational cause.  Legacy Health Clinic provides mental health evaluations and can provide the necessary care for anxiety disorders and other conditions that often occur with it, like depression. Cim gets to know you so she can develop a personalized care plan to meet your goals and help you feel more in control of your anxiety. 

What are the symptoms of anxiety?

There are many different anxiety disorders, some of which cause you to worry about specific circumstances and others that involve more general feelings. Generalized anxiety disorder involves excessive worry surrounding events and circumstances in everyday life and can interfere with your sleep, relationships, and ability to work.  You might not have identical symptoms to someone else with an anxiety disorder, but there’s a long list of possible signs and symptoms. It includes:

• Worry, fear, or dread
• Restlessness
• Irritability
• Trouble concentrating
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Aches and pains, like stomach aches or headaches

Some people with anxiety get anxiety attacks or panic attacks as part of their disorder. During these events, symptoms ramp up, and you might experience additional physiological effects such as a pounding heart, hyperventilation, or trembling.
